Workers Front (Croatia)

The Radnička fronta (Workers’ Front, Croatia) has been recently
founded and often calls itself the "Croatian Syriza". Could you tell us
something more about the emergence and program of the Workers' Front? Who are
you, how many are you, what do you stand for?

The Workers' Front was founded in May 2014 by a group of
workers, trade unionists, students, activists and unemployed. Our goal
is to create a broad progressive platform, combining the activity of a
political party with direct action at the workplaces and political
activism in general.

At the centre of our mission is the provision of a
coherent critique of the capitalist system, and together with other
progressive groups, to employ direct strategies against it. We think that a
fundamental change of Croatian politics and society is necessary because
the capitalist system, which is currently on the offensive in
dismantling the remnants of welfare state, is inherently producing
inequality, destroying the environment and increasing the ability of
rich and the powerful to live off the work of the oppressed and the
neglected, while simultaneously diminishing the latter’s ability to
influence the political process in any meaningful way.
